FAREWELL WORDS.
"Wednesday the 5tlb the last day of Governor
Robes Council, which had labored SO long and so
efficiently for the people, and the Governors term
81 once expired at II O'Clock that night. At the
members of the board were said. Speeches were
| made by the councillors in which good wishes
were expressed for the Governor and for each
other, to which Gov. Robbie feelingy responded.
The Portland Press well says of Names late chief
magistrate: Few of the retiring Governors of
Maine have been able to point to a longer term of
Representatives, he had worked his way up to the
| speakersllip as long ten years ago; and since
then he has served continuously in the Legislative
| or Executive branches of the State government.
He came TO the governors chair after valuable ex-
periencc as a legislator and as councillor, and
| during the four years of his term has conducted
himself successfully in the light of that experi-
ence. For the new Governor we can express no
| happier wish than that the years of his admins
|
fortunate for the state as have been the years of
| Governor Robes administration
